Heart vs. brain: study seeks safer path for epilepsy diet

NCT ID NCT06369571

Summary

This study aims to find safe ways to lower high cholesterol in adults with epilepsy who are on a special high-fat, low-carb diet that controls their seizures. Researchers will test if making small changes to the diet or adding a common cholesterol-lowering pill (a statin) can improve heart health without causing more seizures. The goal is to help doctors better manage the long-term heart risks for people who rely on this effective diet therapy.
